There is nothing legally stopping those in the healthcare industry from striking as far as I'm aware - although the manner of the strikes would be different I'd think to ensure continued support and care for those needing healthcare services.

When will the five-day strikes happen?
The BMA announced that junior doctors will strike from 12 to 16 September, in a significant escalation in their dispute with the government over a proposed new contract. The walkout will occur between 8am and 5pm on those days, so technically it is not five-day strike but a strike on five consecutive days. There are also walkouts proposed for 5, 6, 7, 10 and 11 October, 14-18 November and 5-9 December
